Are the screws supposed to slide into the pegs a bit before they begin to bite? The reason I ask is because even without the power board, sound board, and battery I can't seem to get the button face plate to screw down at all. Almost as if the screws are too short or I'm doing something wrong. Below is a link to a video showing what I'm talking about, and I'm sorry if the quality turns out to be trash. Thanks in advance!

Re: Screw Issue?
if the screws are loose, try wrapping them with some teflon tape, electrical tape or something to thicken them up a bit, that may help them bite in a bit. Depending on the 3d prints those screw holes may be slightly too wide due to the printer itself? Worst case, maybe put a small amount of hot glue inside the screw hole, and then once hardened, poke a small hole in the glue, and then screw the screws in. The glue should form the new threads for the screw.

Re: Screw Issue?
Thanks for the input. I don't have any teflon tape and couldn't get the electrical tape to hold right. So I said screw it and went with the hot glue idea. Sure enough it holds a lot better now. Again thanks for the idea!
